JUST CRANK THE VEHICLE UP AND THE AIRBAG INSIGNIA CAME ON AND THE BOOK SAYS TAKE TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. SO I DID THAT AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME S125 FOR CHECKING OUT A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER TOOK IT TO MANUFACTURER IF I KNEW IT WOULD COSTS ME 125 DOLLARS TO CHECK A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM.THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I STARTED DRIVING AND IT STAYED ON.

ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, I WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA 4X4 ON A RURAL ROAD THAT HAD HAD FRESH SNOW THE NIGHT BEFORE, BUT NO SAND OR OTHER ROAD SALT WAS LAID DOWN. IT IS A CURVY AND HILLY ROAD. I HAD DRIVEN ON THE ROAD AN HOUR EARLIER WITH NO PROBLEMS. AT APPROXIMATELY 9AM, I ENCOUNTERED A PATCH OF ICE WHERE THERE WAS A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND MY SUV THAT HAD BRAND NEW MICHELIN TIRES ON COLLIDED WITH A TREE THAT WAS PART OF AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE TREE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THE COLLISION STRUCK DIRECTLY ON LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE BY HEADLIGHT'PLOWING IN APPROXIMATELY 9 INCHES AND DEFLATED FRONT TIRE. FRONT SUSPENSION WAS BROKEN AS IS HOOD ( SEE PICTURE). NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED?? I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH AT IMPACT. MY AIRBAG ON DRIVERS SIDE WAS RECALLED WITH TAKATA RECALL AND REPLACED , BUT I WONDER IF IT WAS INSTALLED PROPERLY OR WRONG? I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND OTHER TRAUMA TOYOTA DEALER BODY SHOP INDICATES THAT ALL SENSORS FOR AIRBAGS ON FRAME ONLY AND SINCE FRAME NOT HIT NO DEPLOYMENT??

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS. I CALL TOYOTA, THEY CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL ME TO CALL BACK IN A FEW WEEKS IF NO ONE HAS CALLED BE TO SCHEDULE A FIX. IN A FEW WEEKS I CALL TOYOTA BACK AND START ALL OVER BUT I AM ASSURED EVERYTIME THAT THEY WILL GET IT FIXED THIS TIME. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN IN GETTING THIS FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - THE TOYOTA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL WAS DATED JUNE 16, 2015 AND AS OF AUGUST 23, 2016, TOYOTA STILL HAS NOT REPAIRED OUR VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE. HOW MANY YEARS ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WAIT TO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION FIXED?

I HAVE BEEN CALLING LONE STAR TOYOTA OF LEWISVILLE, TEXAS SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2015. EVERY TIME I CALL, THEY TELL ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS, STILL WAITING ON PARTS, OH NOW YOUR NAME IS NOT IN OUR SYSTEM FOR NEEDING ONE. THEY TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY ARE JUST NOW RECEIVING PARTS THAT THEY ORDERED IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NO ONE CAN STOP DRIVING THEIR CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND WAIT FOR PARTS. PLEASE GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERS SO THE OWNERS CAN GET THE DANGEROUS RECALL FIXED. *TR

WE HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V286) FOR OUR 2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA (VIN [XXX]) OVER THE SUMMER. WE HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR PERFORMED. HOWEVER, WE WERE PLACED ON WAITING LISTS AT TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. I HAVE SINCE MADE 4 PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CORPORATION (1-888-270-9371; CASE # [XXX]) BECAUSE THE RECALL LETTER RECOMMENDS LETTING NO ONE OCCUPY THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THEY WOULD FACILITATE A LOANER CAR SINCE THE PART WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. NOW I AM TOLD THERE IS A DEALER HOURS AWAY THAT HAS THE PART THOUGH THE LOCAL DEALERS DO NOT. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME HOW OR WHY SOME DEALERS ARE RECEIVING THE PART WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT. TOYOTA CORPORATION CAN ONLY TELL ME "IT DEPENDS ON THE INDEPENDENT DEALERS' CONTRACT WITH TOYOTA." THEY ARE ALSO, REPORTEDLY, UNABLE TO SEND THE PART FROM ONE DEALER TO ANOTHER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TOWARD A REASONABLE RESOLUTION IS APPRECIATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
